:00:00. > :00:00.change unexpectedly. Protests are continuing through the

:00:00. > :00:12.night in Kiev. This is BBC News. Now, it's time for ABC World News.

:00:13. > :00:17.We will see you soon. Tonight, the investigation under way into a

:00:18. > :00:22.frightening flight. A United Airlines plane hits wild turbulence.

:00:23. > :00:29.A flight attendant and a passenger fly up and hit the ceiling. A mother

:00:30. > :00:36.loses her grip on her child. Is there a safer way to fly with

:00:37. > :00:45.children? A city on fire. Does Vladimir Putin has an insurrection

:00:46. > :01:00.at his door during the Olympics? All those potholes. 100,001 state alone.

:01:01. > :01:04.Good evening. We begin with those harrowing moments on board a

:01:05. > :01:08.commercial flight in this country. Extreme turbulence sent passengers

:01:09. > :01:14.flying. One flight attendant is still hospitalised tonight after

:01:15. > :01:19.hitting the cabin ceiling. How is the investigation going? Just as the

:01:20. > :01:25.United Airlines aircraft was starting its descent into Montana,

:01:26. > :01:30.there was a jolt. It felt like something came up from the bottom

:01:31. > :01:38.and hit the bottom of the plane. It was severe turbulence and those not

:01:39. > :01:44.buckled in word tossed about. He hit the ceiling of the aircraft and

:01:45. > :01:47.landed on the lady next to him. The aircraft seemed to fall for nearly

:01:48. > :01:54.five seconds. As this simulation shows, there was a mother who lost

:01:55. > :02:00.control of her child. The baby ended up in the air, landing on another

:02:01. > :02:04.seat, luckily unhurt. It's impossible to hold a child during

:02:05. > :02:10.high turbulence. A child can be pulled from their parent's grasp.

:02:11. > :02:15.The baby's weight can triple during the event and we are not strong

:02:16. > :02:20.enough. There is one approved restraint for aircraft and you can

:02:21. > :02:23.use a car seat. Turbulence is a common occurrence but it can happen

:02:24. > :02:30.without warning. Those who are usually injured are crewmembers. On

:02:31. > :02:39.average, there are 32 injuries every year and 66% of those are two crew

:02:40. > :02:48.members, often flight attendants. The captain had to declare a medical

:02:49. > :02:53.emergency. To my right was the stewardess. She went flying back and

:02:54. > :02:58.forth. One flight attendant is hospitalised tonight in a serious

:02:59. > :03:03.condition. Two passengers were treated and released after that

:03:04. > :03:06.violent light through turbulent air. The unexpected turbulence is why

:03:07. > :03:16.flight crews suggest you always keep your seatbelt buckled.

:03:17. > :03:21.Overseas, the fire and protest raging right on Russia's doorstep. A

:03:22. > :03:35.giant city in flames, even as Vladimir Putin tries to put on his

:03:36. > :03:42.best face during the Olympics. Kiev is burning tonight. Flaming tyres,

:03:43. > :03:47.fireworks and the smell of tear gas. Security forces pushed into the

:03:48. > :03:50.centre to drive out protesters. Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko,

:03:51. > :03:55.once a world champion boxer, is tonight in the fight of his life. He

:03:56. > :04:01.is calling the heart of this city and island of freedom. Today, it was

:04:02. > :04:07.a sea of anger. Demonstrators armed themselves with bricks and fought

:04:08. > :04:11.with columns of police, backed by water cannon. They claimed advantage

:04:12. > :04:19.on rooftops and beat the men in uniform. Sometimes, we saw mercy.

:04:20. > :04:24.Sometimes, it was brute force. On both sides, they suffered

:04:25. > :04:29.casualties. At least 13 are dead. Just weeks ago, we witnessed a

:04:30. > :04:35.disciplined and determined rising. These fortifications are impressive.

:04:36. > :04:38.This barrier has gone up and they are still reinforcing it with sand

:04:39. > :04:42.bags packed with ice. The front line has moved now but it's clear that

:04:43. > :04:48.they are ready. These are their home-made shields. Through here, a

:04:49. > :04:52.wall of tyres ready for them to satellite if the police just over

:04:53. > :05:00.their attack. This is a giant but divided country. Hardened protesters

:05:01. > :05:07.want to side with Europe but the president wants to side with

:05:08. > :05:10.Vladimir Putin. Violence here reveals America and Russia are

:05:11. > :05:15.squaring off on opposite sides, inflaming old and bitter divisions.

:05:16. > :05:20.This is now a test of wills between Russia and the West. It was always

:05:21. > :05:23.thought Moscow would call for restraint during the Olympics but

:05:24. > :05:33.make no mistake, Vladimir Putin is not backing down. The big thaw is

:05:34. > :05:38.under way and that means the ice is on the move. Ice is falling off

:05:39. > :05:48.groups and onto steps. After that, all the potholes like craters in the

:05:49. > :05:51.street. Tonight another storm sweeping

:05:52. > :05:56.through the north-east. Whiteout conditions in Pennsylvania so bad

:05:57. > :06:05.this armoured truck flipped over. In Chicago, this car was stuck on icy

:06:06. > :06:11.tracks and get struck by a train. Miraculous that the driver walked

:06:12. > :06:15.away, unhurt. A carport collapsed in Pennsylvania with rescue crews

:06:16. > :06:20.having to cut through the route to pull the driver to safety. In New

:06:21. > :06:28.Jersey they are using metal detectors to hunt down buried by

:06:29. > :06:31.hydrants. So many cities and towns are hitting their breaking point.

:06:32. > :06:40.This man is using a blowtorch to melt ice. In New Jersey, a dire salt

:06:41. > :06:53.shortage. You have been without salt for two weeks? Yes we have some

:06:54. > :06:57.arrived yesterday. So many slow has been under plough. And now there are

:06:58. > :06:59.more problems in Jersey City where snow-covered cars are going to be

:07:00. > :07:08.getting tickets if they are not moved by tomorrow. I tried for two

:07:09. > :07:14.hours to get the ice underneath to get out but it is impossible. But

:07:15. > :07:18.hopefully won't drive into the potholes that have formed. Jersey

:07:19. > :07:24.filling double what they did last year. New York, 100,000 since

:07:25. > :07:36.January. Experts say that hitting eight pothole can be like a 35 mile

:07:37. > :07:40.car crash. The warmup is brief. We have a shot of very cold air coming

:07:41. > :07:46.back into the east and midwest in next week. Here in New Jersey, the

:07:47. > :07:52.transport chief is warning that the State may have to shut down the

:07:53. > :07:56.interstate. There is too much slow here.

:07:57. > :08:02.We have a big headline about a national obsession. So many

:08:03. > :08:09.Americans admit they are addicted to Candy Crush on their phones. It

:08:10. > :08:17.might be about to create a gold mine for the clever creators.

:08:18. > :08:21.Every day, 93 million people get the craving to play Candy Crush, making

:08:22. > :08:29.it one of the most popular gaming apps. Now set to join the stock

:08:30. > :08:32.exchange, its maker could top $5 billion. More than twice as much as

:08:33. > :08:39.the company that brings this suite. That would make the virtual sugar

:08:40. > :08:44.height were even more. If you have not played the game before it might

:08:45. > :08:48.be hard to understand how it is a addictive. The game is simple, you

:08:49. > :08:56.swipe the candy pieces to make a match and people get hooked. Many of

:08:57. > :09:05.them are women. 65% of Candy Crush is American audience is American --

:09:06. > :09:12.female. I am addicted! They may be empty calories but the game comes

:09:13. > :09:22.with eight prize. It has become mental crack to me. My iPhone is my

:09:23. > :09:32.crack pipe. Profits surged last year to nearly $570 million. Ryding just

:09:33. > :09:39.how much America's Sweet T is worth. Up next night, the new wild west.

:09:40. > :11:05.The legal marijuana moguls are making mountains of cash.

:11:06. > :11:10.Next tonight. Although that marijuana millionaires are facing

:11:11. > :11:13.new trouble that the states have made some of it legal. They have so

:11:14. > :11:19.much inventory and cash they have become one stop shopping for

:11:20. > :11:26.thieves. It is the dark stuff of Colorado's

:11:27. > :11:30.legal marijuana trade. Thieves hunting for cash and stealing pot

:11:31. > :11:41.plants worth thousands. Christie Kelly has been hit three times by

:11:42. > :11:45.burglars. I feel very paranoid like I am always looking over my

:11:46. > :11:53.shoulder. She has turned her business into a fortress. There are

:11:54. > :11:59.nine cameras and those are just the ones I can see. Banks keep cutting

:12:00. > :12:05.her down because the Federal government still considers marijuana

:12:06. > :12:11.illegal. She deals only in cash, no checks or credit cards. Marijuana

:12:12. > :12:17.shops are now turning to heavily armed private security. Every month,

:12:18. > :12:25.Ted Daniels and his guards move cash in huge amount. We don't like to see

:12:26. > :12:34.how much our clients have. As former military and ex- cops watch, armed

:12:35. > :12:43.escort is bring the weed in, an lock the safe and take the money out. The

:12:44. > :12:47.Justice Department just issued new guidelines meant to reassure banks

:12:48. > :12:51.they will not face legal trouble for doing business with the marijuana

:12:52. > :12:57.industry but banks are not convinced being the guidelines only reinforces

:12:58. > :13:03.that banks can be prosecuted. Real safety, the industry says, will come

:13:04. > :13:08.if Congress changes banking laws. We want to be able to put our cash in a

:13:09. > :13:16.bank account. It seems impossible to do. Until then, legal business

:13:17. > :13:22.owners are making money faster than they can counted however, there are

:13:23. > :13:26.in danger. Our index begins with the People's Pope. Pope Francis in

:13:27. > :13:35.during the hassle of renewing his Argentinian passport. People rode

:13:36. > :13:40.and Scholl and an oral could photo. He even paid the fee out of his own

:13:41. > :13:46.pocket. You can see his real name there. And a reminder tonight but

:13:47. > :13:53.the power of a simple act of kindness. Meet Daniel, five years

:13:54. > :13:58.old and autistic. Each week when the garbage truck arrives he stands at

:13:59. > :14:05.the curb, fascinated. Someone noticed and watch. Inside that bag,

:14:06. > :14:12.a garbage truck of his own gift from the owner of the garbage truck. A

:14:13. > :14:18.good deed passed from person to person. And finally, turning the

:14:19. > :14:22.Olympics into a family affair. Team USA includes a record number of

:14:23. > :14:31.siblings. Some people gather, some against each other.

:14:32. > :14:36.They have been getting together as long as they can remember. We both

:14:37. > :14:41.had to learn because birthday parties at ice rinks were popular.

:14:42. > :14:48.To avoid the humiliation at that a young age, we both learned to skate.

:14:49. > :14:51.They are one of seven set of siblings competing at Sochi for team

:14:52. > :15:00.USA. The most in American winter Olympic history. From snowboarding

:15:01. > :15:04.gold to ice hockey siblings. Athletes supporting each other as

:15:05. > :15:09.only brothers and sisters can. Watch this prat for cross-country skiing

:15:10. > :15:23.as his older sister CD also prepares. At home, they prepare.

:15:24. > :15:34.Still, the Fletcher decided on separate routes in Sochi. It nips

:15:35. > :15:42.rivalry in the bud when you have to work together as a team. I do want

:15:43. > :15:45.to say we are the perfect siblings and it is great all the time but we

:15:46. > :15:54.have learned to work through our problems. They may not have a gold

:15:55. > :16:03.medal but they will always have each other.

:16:04. > :16:15.It is great to have a bee in Sochi. We thank you for watching.

:16:16. > :16:19.It is fairly quiet overnight, quite mild for most but maybe a few places

:16:20. > :16:21.getting a touch of
